He still occasionally faves some candid picture of mine on Flickr (though rarely the ones I expect him to!), and some of the postings on his own Flickr page:

are quite recent (though probably old photos republished).

Conditions were actually quite good for 'billowing' fans at Bournemouth on August Bank Holiday this year: warm enough to tempt people into the sea, but with a wind strong enough to cause big waves, causing long dresses and gowns to inflate as each wave came in and the rapidly-deepening water forced the air under the skirt upwards. Quite difficult to capture on film, since they only 'billowed' for a second or so, then back down like a punctured tyre as the wave passed - and to be honest I wasn't really trying since it doesn't interest me particularly. But I caught a few more or less accidentally:

See for example the green dress in the middle (but slightly in the background) of this pic https://www.flickr.com/photos/105715846@N06/52314937374/in/dateposted-public/

and the beige dress in this one is just starting to 'billow' with that incoming wave https://www.flickr.com/photos/105715846@N06/52319742335/in/dateposted-public/

but the most spectacular ones were well in the background; see the girl in green dress and white cardy in this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/105715846@N06/52316718821/in/dateposted-public/

and the lady in a brown patterned gown (part hidden by the bloke) in this https://www.flickr.com/photos/105715846@N06/52319515378/in/dateposted-public/

There are other examples in the background of some of the pics; I'll leave it to those who are interested to seek out any more that might turn them on.

I have very much been aware of him throughout the years, his was one of the first billowing videos I've ever seen. Unfortunately though, I guess this is too niche to catch on. I'm sure I can count the amount of people I've seen who like it on one hand.

I remember a guy (I actually met him once) who was all about "billowing" wetlook. IIRC he had this connection between using clothing inflated with air as a floatation aid (hence the name "SafeZone") and the aesthetic enjoyment of billowing skirts. He shot/offered his content on VHS, had a lot of analog video equipment. When video went digital, I don't think he did much in the way of transfers and I don't think he ever shot anything on digital camera. Just seems to have faded away. Even at the time, his take on wetlook seemed rather unique and "niche within a niche".

Lack of Billowing

Why does billowing have to be so hard to come by? I can go actual months without seeing wetlook with a long skirt, and when I finally do, the model goes out of her way to keep the skirt from inflating! Why do they always do that? that's my favorite part! It's just so hard to find billowing that I haven't seen before, it feels like I've already seen all the billowing on the internet years ago!
